Training Report

Yesterday, was a pretty good day, though i didn't do as much as i had hoped to. I did have a great game of Ultimate Frisbee in the morning, followed up by a 20 bike ride, i was actually quite disappointed in my ride, though i rode pretty strong, i just didn't see to have it in me to be out there too long on the bike. I don't know what is up with that. I did have to fight a pretty good head wind most of the ride. Flatwoods seems to be pretty good about having to fight the wind pretty much any way you go. I did end of passing pretty much everyone i had set out to. Also there was one rider who seemed to be riding pretty strong that took me awhile to catch him, when i did i sat on his wheel for about 30 seconds, then pulled up to take my turn pulling, to show that i wasn't just going to sit back on his wheel. After i took a pretty long pull at a good pace 22-23mph, i signaled that i was pulling off and going to let him pull. But he didn't pull up, so i had to continue to pull did this for a while more then tired to let him pull again, this time he did pull. He did pretty well, when it was my turn to pull again, i eased up and made sure that he had a chance to get under wheel before i really cranked up the speed. When i was ready for a break i signelled and pulled back only to find that i had uninvertently dropped him, i was pretty tired at this point, i rode hard expecting to have some help, but was never really helped by the guy so i decided to head in to listen to the rest of the bucs game.

I also had planned to throw in another run last night but that never did happen. Even though Monday's are suppose to be my day off i think i am going to go for a run this evening. i have to start bumping up my running mileage if i am going to be ready to run the 1/2 Marathon in February.
